We have the exchange for you.  You talk about a guy that can\u2019t deal with criticism?  By the way, it\u2019s our president who I don\u2019t think could live a day in my shoes, actually, but I can\u2019t even say that.  That sounds like I\u2019m complaining, and I\u2019m not.  Anyway, Jake Tapper basically said, &#8220;Look, you\u2019ve been talking about doing something on guns for four years and you haven\u2019t done diddly-squat.  Why not?&#8221;  That\u2019s the essence of the question.  Here\u2019s how Jacob Tapper asked it.<\/p>\n<p>TAPPER:  It seems to a lot of observers that you made the political calculation in 2008, in your first term, and in 2012, not to talk about gun violence. You had your position on renewing the ban on semi-automatic rifles that then-Senator Biden put into place. But you didn\u2019t do much about it. This is not the first incident of <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=13686\">horrific gun violence <\/a>of your four years. Where have you been?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Pl9T1QLvQw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  In fact, this is Obama\u2019s fourth.  This is the fourth violent, mass death incident.  One per year is how it\u2019s averaging out for Obama.  And, see, here\u2019s Obama up there, what does he do?  Obama gets to live in this phony world where he\u2019s Mr. Perfect and he\u2019s never criticized.  And whatever he says is treated as though it\u2019s near biblical.  So Obama has lived off this notion that he\u2019s doing everything he can to stop these things, and he was gonna make sure they didn\u2019t happen in the first place.  We were all gonna love each other.  We were all gonna be unified, and we were gonna get a different country and we were gonna be apolitical and there wasn\u2019t gonna be any partisanship.  There weren\u2019t gonna be any disagreement. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what Obama promised people in 2008.  That\u2019s what they thought he meant.  He did dissuade people from thinking that about him.  When they wanted to treat him like a messiah he accepted it and told them they were right, he is a messiah.  Whatever people wanted him to be, that\u2019s what he allowed himself to be, no matter how unrealistic it was.  So Jake Tapper says, &#8220;Here you are, you\u2019re up here pontificating every day about how much you care and you\u2019re working hard on this.  Where have you been the last four years?&#8221;  And here was Barry\u2019s answer.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:  Well, here\u2019s where I\u2019ve been, Jake. Uh, I\u2019ve been president of the United States dealing with the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, an auto industry on the verge of collapse, two wars. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve been on vacation. And, so, you know, I think all of us have to do some reflection on how we prioritize, um, what we do here in Washington.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_70855\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaTapperGolf.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Of all that, he keeps talking in virtually everything he says, be the economy or his job or &#8212; what is this &#8220;two wars&#8221; business?  This guy couldn\u2019t have put up with World War II.  Can you imagine this guy being president during Vietnam?  Can you imagine the excuses he would be making for himself if Pearl Harbor happened, or if 9\/11 had happened when he was president?  Oh, it did, in Benghazi.  He was perfect there, by the way.  The report\u2019s out.  Obama was perfect.  See, Obama\u2019s one of these guys, he lives in this bubble the media creates for him.  He accepts it.  He walks around believing he\u2019s special.  He\u2019s it. He\u2019s loved and adored by everybody.  He\u2019s special.  There\u2019s nobody like him. <\/p>\n<p>Most presidents get questions like this 25 times a day.  Sam Donaldson lived off of questions like this to Ronald Reagan.  Reagan\u2019s answer was to smile and look at Sam, &#8220;Ah, that\u2019s just Sam being Sam.&#8221;  And he\u2019d laugh it off.  I guarantee you, Jacob Tapper is in some crosshairs now for this insolence and this disrespect.  There might even be a phone call from the White House to ABC today, say, &#8220;What the hell was that?&#8221; And the purpose of that phone call will be to make sure that kind of question is never asked again.  You don\u2019t ask dictators&#8230; uh&#8230; presidents, questions like that.  Disrespect. <\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s Obama, (imitating Obama) &#8220;What do you mean?  I\u2019ve been dealing with the worst economy, Great Depression.  Yep.  I\u2019ve been working hard to make it worse.  It hasn\u2019t been easy, Jake.  You think it\u2019s easy making the economy worse than when I found it?  I mean, I\u2019ve been working hard.  It\u2019s tough keeping people out of work in this economy, it\u2019s real hard, but I\u2019ve done it.&#8221;  Auto industry on the verge of collapse.  What\u2019s the news today?  There\u2019s something about GM in the news today.  Buying back stock, the taxpayers screwed multiple billions again.  There is no saving the auto industry.  Not in reality.  His chosen vehicle is one that nobody wants.  &#8220;Save the auto industry.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>And, &#8220;I haven\u2019t been on vacation&#8221;?  He\u2019s taken more vacation time and his wife more vacation&#8230; if you add their vacation time they\u2019ve probably been on vacation more than they\u2019ve been working.  &#8220;Well, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve been on vacation.&#8221;  So Tapper\u2019s basically saying, &#8220;Okay, these things keep happening. They keep getting worse, but you keep telling us you\u2019re working hard to fix all that.  Where you been?&#8221;  I love the question.  It\u2019s one of the rare times Obama gets called out on this little false bubble in which he lives. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: At Obama\u2019s press conference today, Jake Tapper got the last question, and The One did not like it.
